OK, ok, ok – define what comedy is in this context then – because stuff like Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and My Family are definitely British and are called 'comedy' in the TV listings. But if you agree to do Yes, Prime Minister marathons then that's OK:)

Also Chris Morris is blatantly the true legend, not Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge.

Can you sum it up in a sentence?
No.
A word?
No.
A sound?
uuuuuugh.

Steve Coogan is king!!!

and i can assure you, My Hero, The Vicar of Dibley, Hardware!!! et al will not be appreciated by the group!

Dads Army to Peter Kay is where were looking, and Yes Prime Minister is deffinately involved!

[Panicking] "Don't Panic Mr Skidmore! Don't Panic!"

I'll Join.

Yay! Dad's Army! I totally forgot!

Oh yeah, and there will be some Morcambe and Wise in there. Whether you like it or not. :)

El Presidente

Morcambe and Wise at a push then… i really didnt find them that amusing, thought they were a little overrated, much like the 2 Ronnies, but they are a classic and must be appreciated by the group i guess…

Why did noone else find it strange that they always shared a bed with eachother?!

Yeah, Alan Partridge makes me cringe and I can't stand comedy that makes me not want to watch it. Does that make sense?? For example, I can't watch The Office for fear of scratching my own eyes out…

I understand.

el presidente!

Alan Partridge remains very highly on the agenda, i can assure Vicky G of that…

The Office was a top quality program, slightly overrated, much like Ricky Gervais and (i know i may sound unpopular for this) Jimmy Carr…

My Hero may have been undervalued, but it really wasn't amusing, and not in the same league as other such undervalued shows like Black Books.

If we ever get desperate for programs, then My Hero will possibly get a showing, but Hardware will never grace the screens while i am el presidente

Its a shame this society aint a democracy eh :–P

la vuelta del Presidente

sar

methinks it might be time for a revolution….or perhaps a paramilitary wing of said cogsoc….do the muppets count as british comedy? the series was filmed in britain…..why just britsh comedy in any case? fascist!...any chance of a place on the exec? :D
only kidding…not about the position on the exec though*2D TV rules!*

Right bitch (Alex). My Hero is very funny. Black books is hilarious. Hardware was very very funny. And Brittas Empire was my main sustainance as a young child! How dare you…!!! And another thing… I think you'll find that any society is a democracy, and you actually have to be elected to a position on the exec, Mr I–elected–myself–president–like–that–tyrant–Bush!!!

Oh dear, this could get very hairy.

First, everybody breathe.

Second, Jen, he didn't actually slag off Black Books.

Third, she's right, there has to be an election.

Fourth, unfortunately Mr Bush got himself elected (apparently) fairly, at least this time. And only three years and ten and a half months to go till they get someone else.

And I've never seen or even heard of Hardware before, so I really can't comment.

yay! go see sarah's shiny new blog in all its shiny newness glory!
also, when's the election? i plugged the comedy gold soc on my spangly new blog…can i be on the exec??! pleaaaaaase?
p.s. bush is good for 2d tv! :D sadly, he sucks in every other conceivable way

el Presidente!

Not happy with some of the pre–establishment formation coups arising on el Presidente's blog! Please have the decency to wait for the society to be set up…

How am I already el Presidente? Purely because I have decided I am lol… When Vicky, Jill and I created the idea on Friday night while stood with traffic cones on our heads shouting 'look at me im a giant witch.'

I may have to be elected but I'm pretty sure ill win, given elections are easily rigged, and furthermore, last time i didnt win an election, i took up another role, brought the whole company to a standstill and allegedly ran off with over £250… and if I dont win, I'll sulk :–(

Viva el Presidente!

As Gavin points out, we aint getting anywhere just arguing over President. (I say we all call ourselves president so we can all put it on our CVs.)

So yeah, we need one of those society forms..oh, and members.

Shall we have a date where everyone interested in joining meets up and signs up?
